- I mean...- I mean...- Can we get a better toss than that?You can toss it to me.- Okay.[clapping hands][upbeat music]- What's goin' on GQ?I'm Greg Jennings andthese are my essentials.[upbeat music]This here is my Jack Black Lip Balm.This is mandatory.If you see my expression, my emotion,I'm excited about thisbecause this gets appliedfrom the moment I wakeup throughout the dayto the moment I'm gettingready to go to sleep.It is in my car, every vehicle.It is in my pocket.It is in my bag.It is in my bedroom onmy bedroom nightstand.It is everywhere I am going to be.They have lemon flavor,grapefruit, vanilla, mint.The only knock on this,it is a pretty penny.It's about eight bucks.That could be a littlediscouraging for those of youwho like to keep your lips niceand lubricated, which I do.I suggest you go get this lipbalm, Jack Black Lip Balm.Gotta have it.My Yeti bottle, and yes, it is huge.The 64 ounce with waterthat remains in it.I literally don't leavethe house without it.I love it because I have to drinkabout a gallon and ahalf of water every day.It keeps everything that I put in it cold.Well, the only thing thatI put in it is water,but it's also a trackingdevice apparently,because where you see the Yeti,you will typically see Daddy.And so that is how everyone in the housecan identify, "Where's Daddy?"They found the bottle,they will find Daddy.I don't even know reallyhow to pronounce the name,they're Oofas, Oofos, who really cares?All I know is thatthey're pillows on my feetwhen I'm walking around thehouse or wherever I need to be.These sandals righthere, the thong version,I have multiple versions,as a matter of fact,I got the flip flop version on right now,because when I'm walkingaround I like for my feetto be given the most comfort possible,so I put these on my feet.I was actually in Floridaon vacation with the familyand I forgot my sandalsto go to the beach.And so I ran into thisstore and they had these,and I put 'em on my feetand literally I was like,"Oh my goodness, oh mygoodness, what is this?"I had never felt the comfortthat I felt on my feet.I got mine, you can go getyours, these are amazing.Love Your Melon hat.I almost can't leave home without it.The times that I do, I wish I hadn't.This is a must-have.Minnesota-based company.Some of the proceeds that they raisego to children with cancer.They also partnered this particular hatwith Starkey Hearing Foundation,an organization that'snear and dear to myself,that we've worked with, my wife and I.This is a year-round worn hat.I live in Minnesota.I gotta keep the head nice and warm.I wear it in the winter.I wear it in the summer.I wear it indoors.I wear it outdoors.Love Your Melon, the way to go.Next essential, Lululemonpants, it's a jogger.I love joggers 'cause I'm a sock guy.I love being able to show my socksso they raise up a little bit.I wear it to train, I wearit just around the house.It's a dress pants for me.I dress it with a button-up.These pants here go with anything.And the most important thing isthey stretch and they're comfy.Then it has this little slick back pocketthat I throw like my lip balm in,so I know exactly where it is.[slapping]That's just me, but I love these pants.This hoodie right here,Western Michigan Broncos,this is my Alma mater.Wherever I go, I take this hoodie.It's comfortable, it's stretchy,it's mesh, it's breathable.I don't like to train with my arms outbecause I don't really liketo identify and see my pump.I just like to feel like I'mworking, but I'm undercover.I have to train with a hood on my headjust because it allowsme to keep that focus.It's like I'm just zeroed-inon the task at hand.I don't care about anybody around me.I'm just locked-in on this weight,this exercise, and getting it done.This hoodie provides me allof those things, I love it.All right, so these Asics Gel-Nimbus,these are the nineteens, Ithink they're up to like 22,those are somewhere around the house,but these are a shoethat I fell in love with.And I said that I would neverbe an Asics dad or a New Balance dad,but again, I like comfortable feet.After being in cleats foralmost over half of my life,you know what?I treat my feet right now, andAsics give me that comfort.I wear 'em for traveling.I literally have multiple color variationsbecause when I travel, I liketo kind of color coordinate,so I have a black pair,I have a green pair,I have a blue pair, I have these.I don't really train in 'emunless I'm doing cardio.That's the only thing thatI really do in these shoes.Outside of that, they go on my feetimmediately following trainingso that I can get thecomfort back on my feet,the way that I like to feel.Gotta have 'em.This here my friends,is probably one of myall-time favorite button-ups,blue jean denim.This one here can go with anythingand is extremely comfortable.This right here has been mygo-to for about seven years.This specific, this one right here,not another one, nottwo, this one right herehas been in my wardrobecollection for about seven years.I take very good care ofit because I enjoy it.I want it to remain inmy wardrobe collectionbecause it is that important to me.I know you're thinking,"Do you have others?"I do, but they're not this one.They're not this color andthey're just not as comfy.This kind of gives me a little stretch,even with my weight fluctuationbecause of my training.This can go with me up or down, I love it.I bring it on the road withme where I'm traveling,so just in case I have a business meeting,I'm gonna throw on theblue jean denim button-up.If I just wanna go andhang, go out to dinner,just have a good time, thisright here is mandatory for me.This is my planner.It's a Momentum planner.Everything is in it.My day is literally scriptedfrom the moment I wake upto pretty much the moment I go to sleep.I'm talking my foodtimes, my meeting times,my kids' school schedule,like it is in this planner.And most importantly mymeeting times with my wife,which we are now having on a weekly basisbecause we all we got, we all we need.So this is my Momentum planner.Alright, the Alpha Hylete Backpack.With everything that I showedyou, it all goes in this.This backpack here has somany different compartments.I enjoy it, my hoodie goes in here,my training gear, theLululemon pants go in here.My Jack Black Lip Balm goes in here,computer space, my Yeti bottle.It has space for my mealprep containers right there,[banging] and they don't spill, I love it.You can't beat it.It goes with me to the gym.It goes with me on the airplanes.I pack like anywhere, itdoesn't really matter.I'm not bringing too much.Any extra carryover, I just throw 'emin one of the kids' pieces of luggage."Here, put Daddy's in here, son."I love this backpack andthere's a special place,I have to travel with the Teddy bear.I wanna introduce youguys to Jennings, AKA A.J.All my kids' names starts with an Aand their last name isJennings after yours truly,thus Jennings the bear.My babies got it for me.When they revealed this gift to me,they said, "Daddy, this is Jennings."He's gonna travel withyou everywhere you go"that we can't go with you."And it broke me down.That's why I have to travel with Jenningswhen they can't make the trips with me,but when they can't come with me,I know that they are with me.- [Jennings] We love you Daddy.- Alright, GQ, those were my essentials.I appreciate you for checkin' 'em out.
